Subject:rear wheel cylinders
From:A J <flavanagon@GMAIL.COM>

Having done the rear brakes on my Vanagon and ending up with the"soft
pedal" I was wondering if anyone had a set of wheel cylinder springs
they would be willing to part with?

Even if it is just one that I could use to match to a new set. I just
cant see removing the cylinders and buying new new cylinders to replace
the new cylinders already installed to test if that is the real problem.
I figure I could just open the cylinders and see if there was a spring,
if  not then just slip in one and see if that in fact cures the problem.

So if you have several old cylinders with the springs and can spare a
pair, or even one please contact me. I will post if this works and in
fact cures the pedal problem. That way we can all be sure to check
before we install. I didnt.

Thanks,

A J
